Tips to remember the word ‘campaña’:

1. ‘Campaña’ can remind you of ‘campaign,’ which is its translation in English. Both words begin with “camp-” and have a similar pronunciation.
2. Visualize a political campaign or a marketing campaign taking place in a rural, open space to help remember the dual meaning of ‘campaña’ in Spanish (campaign and countryside).

Explanations:

– In Spanish, ‘campaña’ refers to an organized series of activities aimed at achieving a particular goal, very similar to the English word ‘campaign.’
– It can also mean ‘countryside,’ referring to a rural area, with open fields and spaces outside of cities and towns.

Other words that mean the same thing:

– For the meaning campaign: “cruzada” (crusade), “movilización” (mobilization).
– For the meaning countryside: “campo” (field, country), “rural” (rural).

Alternate meanings and slang:

– ‘Campaña’ has no widely recognized slang meanings. However, in certain contexts, it can refer to a bell ringing (from ‘campana,’ meaning ‘bell’) or a series of actions in a given time period.

Examples of sentences:

1. Este año, la organización ambiental está lanzando una campaña para plantar miles de árboles. (This year, the environmental organization is launching a campaign to plant thousands of trees.)
2. Durante las vacaciones, disfrutamos de la tranquilidad de la campaña lejos de la ciudad. (During the holidays, we enjoy the tranquility of the countryside away from the city.)
